Your endocrinologist has told you. Every diabetes educator has told you. And you still dose with your first bite, same as the rest of us. Neil Greathouse, who has lived with type 1 diabetes since 1992, kicks off The Head Start, an eight-week challenge all about pre-bolusing your insulin, by admitting he doesn't do it perfectly either.\nHere is the reframe that changes everything: pre-bolusing is not a knowledge problem. Almost nobody with type 1 needs it explained. It's a fear problem, a forgetting problem, and a \"the food came late one time\" problem. Over the next eight weeks, we fix it gently, using dinner as our meal, with about 1,500 people doing this challenge worldwide.\nIn this episode:\nWhy pre-bolusing is the most-ignored advice in type 1 diabetes\nThe real reason we don't do it, and why it isn't discipline\nThe one stat that proves you're not the only one (more than 1 in 4 meals gets a late or missed bolus)\nWhy we're building the whole challenge around dinner\nThis Week's Challenge: Change nothing. Just notice your blood sugar two hours after dinner. We're taking a \"before\" picture before we change a thing.\nHelpful resources and newsletter: https://yourbestt1dyear.com Connect with Neil: TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@the.betes Instagram: https://instagram.com/thebetes Facebook: https://facebook.com/neilgreathouse LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/neil-greathouse-a607b912 Website: https://yourbestt1dyear.com Books on Amazon: Type 1 Diabetes – One Day at a Time: https://a.co/d/6UHooWJ Type 1 Diabetes – True Stories: https://a.co/d/dfIlyI1","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/o0hXmJTfrsbPYfZKHjLJRs1Dx7iBMJisKDJZnYXjscs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lNzFh/MDhmY2QwMjcwZTcx/NWRkZTBjNTk5YzUz/YjY2MS5QTkc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
